Yes, it can become a Catholic priest, if you are divorced and is in possession of a Declaration of Nullity canonical about three years.
You can even become a priest if you have children, provided they are not a minor.

Yes, a widow could become a Catholic priest. The only requirement is that singles celebate when it is actually a priest - past does not matter. He has the same conditions as other priests (Father).

Actually it can. I know a priest who has grown children, was "called to the priesthood after the death of his wife.

Yes
A man whose wife has died can be a Catholic priest. I met a couple.
The Church calls on the widow to wait until the children of whom he has become responsible adults.
He would have no special title.
With love in Christ.

besides the widows, the married Protestant ministers who convert to the Catholic faith can also become priests. This is a rare occurrence of widows priests, but there are a number of "convert" the priests who are married.

Yes! A man who has been an ordained Episcopal priest who converted to Catholicism can then become a Catholic priest and keep his wife. It does not happen often, but allows some married and became a priest in the Church today!
